I really enjoyed Ep 5. Ai was one of my favorite social links, so I hope we see more with her. I personally liked soccor more than basketball, but I'm hoping when we "strengthen' the relationships, that translates into dealing with both guys problems.

Also, i love how poor MC kept getting dragged around by Ai. He really is too nice. AND LOL at the Catherine ring tone. That's oddly appropriate given his situation.

I can always check some eps later on... assuming there will be like 2 or 3 good eps, it wouldn't explain sitting through the other 17-18 while not enjoying them while there are better shows to check out, this season. I might just watch it with the next season, since there won't seem to be many shows worth checking... just I don't see myself waiting each and every episode of this like there's no tomorrow.

I do wish they would give new social links a bit more pizzaz...Im not asking them to do the whole RANK UP! screen [Though thats what they probably WOULD do, so that would explain it's absence], but just the 'voice' of 'You've achieved the ___ Arcana' that you get for rank 1 links. Yu just kinda apparently gets them during the ending theme... I mean, I know it's obvious, but I want it more obvious darn it D<

Sadly they kinda killed the best part of this scene. But they did their best part to make up for it. Over.

This. It was one of my favourite aspects of the game so it's kinda sad to see it have so little attention in the anime.

I really like Kanji's voice actor. I loved his American voice actor, but this one was pretty nice too. I thought Amagi's social link was VERY subtle in this episode. Kind of sad actually. I kind of wish that they'd put a little more oomph into it.

CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT EP. I look forward to seeing the next wild card, and look even more forward to seeing how they treat this shadow battle. I'm hoping that Kanji kick's his own shadow's ass (especially since he was very agressive with it in the game).

Dunno. We'll see! :3

Also. Naoto. WEWT.

Speaking of which...

I seriously hope we get

Spoiler :

The crossdressing contest and the modeling contest, which Naoto (in my game anyway) wins. LULZ. XD

lol at camping trip ep, felt too short but I guess that was because they were trying to cram so much good stuff into one ep, the tent scenes were the best hehe, that and Kanji trying to prove himself a man
